Recorded weekly in Greater Downtown Miami, the program’s core premise is to analyze condos as commodities, no different than pork bellies, oil or salty snacks.
The weekly show intends to cut through the marketing hype to focus strictly on the numbers for investors and real estate professionals.
A regular feature of the Tuesday show is the Miami Condo Cliff Index™, which tracks active listings and pending sales in realtime to forecast official closed sales data that lags by 30 to 120 days.

Episode Overview
The South Florida Vintage Condo Cliff Index™ moved higher during the week ending Jan. 20, 2026, as a surge in dealmaking for condo units at least 30 years old outpaced the proportional stream of new inventory entering the market.
Specifically, the Vintage Index rose 2.56% in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach to close at 6.87 points on Jan. 20, 2026, compared to 6.70 points on Jan. 13, 2026. For context, the Vintage Index is up 3.21% to 6.65 points since Jan. 1, 2026.
The gain was fueled largely by a spike in buyer activity within the Vintage condo category.
Cash-strapped unit owners are heading for the exits as the cost of condo living spikes under post-Surfside legislation. These new state mandates require associations to study structural integrity and fund necessary fixes through reserves or loans identified by licensed architects and engineers.
The divergence between buyer activity and broader economic policy is widening.
The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates three times since September 2025, yet mortgage rates continue to hover above 6.0%. This affordability gap remains a hurdle for prospective buyers as industry watchers suggest rates must fall to the 4.0% range to stimulate sales amid record-high South Florida condo prices.
